About the study
The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of Mediterranean-type diets on the metabolism of men with localized prostate cancer.
The optimal diet for men with a suspected diagnosis of Prostate Cancer (PCa) is currently unknown. More specifically, the suggested benefits of low carbohydrate and low fat diets in PCa are not determined.
